On Tuesday, United States President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, where he proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “the Gulf of America”. According to Trump, the name change is appropriate because the gulf includes U.S. territory.

As is often the case with Trump, it’s unclear whether his remarks are to be taken at face value or if he's simply trying to stir the pot.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in a speech to crowds of supporters days before Donald Trump is sworn in as US head of state, vowed her country would not be subordinated by its northern neighbor.

Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said Sunday she expected "good" relations marked by "dialogue" with US President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House in a week.
